I happened to finally venture on an online auction site and just could not help myself from registering and bidding for goods which I thought were great things to posses at a very good price even though I know in the back of my mind that I surely d not want it. I guess we humans have this urge to always buy and collect things if they come cheap in spite of its utility.  Now I know why the auctions sites do well... I guess it is people like me who don’t want any thing in particular go to sites like these and end up bidding for things which they may not really want.

However I think the auction sites still have a long way to go as I realized when to my total surprise I won something. There are hardly any escrow services which can ensure the safe deliver of the goods without one getting cheated. There is no provision of paying online via credit cards either in most of the cases and that puts the person back in the brick and mortar world of  physically putting a cashiers cheque / Money order/ draft etc and mailing it to the seller and then hoping your goods reach you and you are not one of the many who are made a sucker by the smart dudes online.

Lets see how far can I go with my transaction and if I receive the goods that I have won online or I think…looks like exciting times ahead… watch ut for this space to see if I get the goods or I get what most people call scammed…
